I own this model but I cannot get the cup selector to work. It seems to always grind way too much coffee than necessary. Any recommendations?

Set it 2 clicks above 4 to make 8 - 9 cups. Set it straight up to make 10 - 12 cups. This may vary with the darkness and richness of the roasted bean.

We brew our morning coffee in a melitta coffee pot so premeasure our coffee beans and then grind them. The machine has always worked beautifully and we are very happy with it.

I have the 12 cup which is very good and have not had an issue with drip or leaking. However, I have now problems with the swing arm making a lot of noise as it was going to crack. I do not intend to get another one if this breaks. Otherwise, it makes very good coffee as I have the better brew option of the additional" aroma" button.

Your grind was probably too coarse. Try increasing it finer. Mine is set between espresso setting (maximum finest) and drip coffee grind. I too sometime wish it can be stronger, but Keurig+Ekobrew is more convenient than other method of brewing.

Make sure you're cleaning out the little float valve on the lid. It can clog up with coffee grinds from time to time if you've put a little too much in the filter area.

Hello Vera, I don't know why - all I can say is how I use it, and that I am happy. I use the typical round filters on top of the filter supplied, since I do not wish to clean it each time. I use a mug, so it takes 2 1/2 scoops for the strong coffee I love. My mug and the supplied mug hold the same amount of liquid. I timed it, and it takes 3 1/2 minutes from the time you push the button until it stops dripping. I then tip the unit to get every drop, remove the paper filter, and I have my morning coffee, the way I like it and saved a ton of money rather than the premeasured pods. It shuts itself off after the 3 1/2 minutes is up; but you cannot turn it off once it is on. It is so small, it would easily fit in my travel case when I go out of town. I am so happy with this that I am giving it as a Xmas gift as well. It is exactly what I wanted! I hope all this helps you, and you are welcome to ask me any other questions you may have. Happy Thanksgiving, Suzanne

We had the same experience. Our 10 year old one was a champ, and only decided to replace it because it was so old and grungy. This new one did not grind fine enough even on the tightest setting. We returned it to Capresso within a month or so for a replacement and the new one is no better. We eventually gave up and purchased a separate burr grinder so the Capresso is just an expensive Mr. Coffee at this point. No more Coffee Team products in our future, I'm afraid. We are really disappointed. Sorry you are having the same experience.

I have the same result with my B40. Makes excellent coffee with no mess each cup when taking the precautions you mentioned.

Had the same problem, used a paper clip to unclog the part where the water come through (the metal pointy part that pokes the hole in the k-cup). Didn't have much success until I kept doing it and ran water through and then *as water sputtered through, I lifted the handle to make it stop, then put it right back down to resume.* each time coffee grounds came out little by little until POP the clog came out and water poured out. It's now working great!!!

I am sorry you have had problems with your coffee maker...Have you made sure the beans are on fine grind and the cup selection is on the darkest...I love coffee and this coffee maker does make good strong coffee it is a hair lighter than an espresso. Maybe you should look at espresso machines too.

Mine works beautifully and has since day one. Perhaps you are using a weaker blend of coffee it's self or are using a choice of cup too large for your particular brand of coffee. I find some of the breakfast blends are a weaker coffee flavor. Use a smaller cup choice when you brew. If that doesn't work may I suggest that you have gotten a coffee maker that just doesn't work properly. Even the best of man made products are not always perfect; I think they call them lemons, but that does not make them all lemons. Send it back and try another one, Kuerig is a very fair company and I am sure they will work with you. Hope this helps.

Same for me too! I just received this and I've tried two different manufacturers ground drip coffee and both resulted in quite a bit of sediment. Not good at all to say the least!!

For myself, the only kind of programmable coffee maker worth having would be one with a built in grinder. I mean, to load up a non-grinder automatic, you've got to load ground beans the night before, so they just sit there getting stale. At least with a grind-and-brew, you've got freshly ground beans and automation. :) I've had such makers in the past and they were great...when they came from Germany. So, now I think that this little Bonavita number might be the ticket. All the fanciness went into the coffee itself, not the doo-dads. ;)

Wish I could help. I did buy this coffee machine, but I had to return it as the programming function didn't work. I ended up buying a Cuisinart instead, and I love it.

We have always used the Mr. Coffee GTF2-1 Basket-Style Gold Tone Permanent Filter with 3 heaping scoops of coffee with no issues. We use regular coffee, as in Maxwell House or Folgers Breakfast Blend. If your coffee is a finer grind, that could be your problem. Cam's Dad suggested the Cuisinart filter which could help if that is your issue. Good luck!

I do 1/2 cup of Starbucks French roast. I have the setting on 8 cups towards a fine grind. The unit shuts off a bit later than all of the grinding has been done. I have not tried other settings.

Same here Anita. Two makers, and that's the only issue I had with this, otherwise, perfect coffee maker. I hope that next time I purchase another one, that issue would have been resolved. For now we put a coffee mug to hold the lid down, so one of us would get a nice-and-hot mug for our coffee. Another little issue is that the grinder packs some of the coffee at the bottom of the filter... we remove the filter and loosen up the packed coffee with a spoon every time. Still beats having to use a separate grinder!

I had a similar issue with mine. I noticed that the cradle above the grinding element was not locking into place. There was a dense layer of packed, finely ground coffee that seemed to be inhibiting the cradle from locking. Once I cleaned that out (with a somewhat sharp wooden chopstick), the grinder started working.
